I am considering this, seems like it would be fun. I like the idea of the training before the actual CTF. I have yet to participate in one and when I have attempted, I am just at a loss (or just can't get on long enough to search because some a$$ is dropping the connections). 75 bucks for the training and CTF registration.

I would assume if you sign up for the class... he'll teach you the skills to play.

From the site:"From October 22nd – November 11th I’ll provide you with access to the Strategic Sec lab network that will be full of challenges with explanations and step-by-step walkthroughs for each challenge."

I'm signed up too. More interested in learning than winning anything.

If we don't care about winning, maybe we should set up an EH-Net team (we'd probably win anyway ).

I am not a pro on pentesting nor an infosec gur yet. I have been doing network administration and some security. I have done my Sec+ , do you think this training on ctf will be helpful for someone newbie like me?? I know this question or sth similar to it has been asked but want to get more idea from you awesome professional guys to get me going

But yeah, you'll get clues. I'm not a pen-tester. I really only do CTFs to get an idea of some of the attack to make my defense better. Heck the talk I've been giving at Cons this year, came out of the RuCTFe last year.
